Changed

• Improved search

  1. Not providing any star in the search bar from now on expects the input to be a wildcard search. Thus, files are going to match paths that have leading or following characters. E.g., oo is going to match /root/foobar.
  2. To use the explicit former search mode, wrap the search entry in quotes as in: "oo". This would only match filenames that are exactly oo.
  3. The search field accepts multiple search entries at once, separated by commata. foo,bar is going to search for both *foo* and *bar* and marks all matched files accordingly.
  4. It is possible to invert the search with a leading exclamation mark as in !foobar. That will match any file that does not match *foobar*. It is only possible to invert the complete input, not individual search entries.
  5. Whitespace handling changed to ignore leading whitespace.

• Distribution metric #1188

  1. set rloc to default distribution metric, showing language percentages for real lines of code, if available. Else set to unary to show language distribution over files
• Improved file sorting in the file overview of the search bar
  • Numbers are sorted naturally
  • Characters are compared with their base character (e.g., a is now next to á).
• Label metric not shown by default anymore
